   No the files are _not_ corrupted.  Most of these complaints are a
result of the user's own failure to use the binary mode (tenex in
the case of Simtel20) in the transfer from the ftp site to his/her
own site, and/or his/her failure to transfer the files in the binary
mode from his/her mailframe to the PC. 
   If you want more information, you are welcome to email me for the
prerecorded instructions.  Study first them carefully.  That's a
much preferred alternative to conveying the net a wrong impression
of the operationality of any of the ftp sites.
